UNITED STATES CHARLES SPONSEL, OFMANCOS, COLORADO HYroDEnMIo KITApplication filed December 17,VA 1928. Serial N'o. 326,541.

This invention relates to a kit containing a hypodermic syringe, a serumbottle, a con-` tainer for disinfectants and a container fordisinfectant solutions. This group forms a convenient little packagethat may be carried in a small space, or even in the vest pocket, foruse on ranches for the treatment of infected cattle, or as a preventivemeasure.

The purpose of the syringe is to carry just enough for one treatment andis to be filled after each treatment; the disinfectants are for thepurpose of properly disinfecting the tube or needle of the syringe. lThe serum bottle contains the serum to be used in the treatment of thecattle.

While this package is particularly designed for use on ranches in thetreatment of cattle, a similar package might be used for treatment ofhuman beings, with necessary modifications as to the contents of thepackgThere is shown in the accompanying drawings a preferred embodimentof this invention.

Referring to the drawings:

Figure l is a front view of the package with the lid open, showing thecontents in dotted lines.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the package with the lid folded back.

Figure 3 is similar to Figure 2, with the contents removed.

Figure 4 is a cross section on the line t-Li of Figure 2. V

Figure 5 is a section on the line 5-5 of Figure 2.

The numeral l indicates a container, which may be made of sheet metal,tin or even paper, the only requisite being that it should be rigid andhave enough body to support the contents. rectangular in shape, having alid adjacent the top to form a closure therefor. The front part of theupper part of the body of the package is cut away so as to provide spacefor ready access to the contents of the case or package.

The cut away part of the package is indicated by the numeral 2, and thecorresponding extended part of the lid is indicated by j This package ismore or less ,the numeral 3, and the point of connection between the lidand the body part, which has a hinge, is indicated bythe numeral 4.

For the purpose of making the corners smooth and easy to fit within thepocket they are rounded as indicated by the numeral 5.

For thefpurpose of locking the'closure or 11d to the box member there isprovided on the lid a suitable opening'G, which engages a correspondingprojection 7 on the front part of the box to hold the lid in engagementwith the box to close the contents within the box. All that is necessaryto do to open the package is to press upon the container, just below thelock, and the snaps will become released.

This little package or container is divided essentially into threecompartments. This division is eected by a single piece of'material, thesame as that of which the body of i the container is composed. The mainpart of the partition that separates the container into compartments isindicated by the numeral 8, and is arranged vertically and crosswise ofthe box from the lefthand side to substantially the center of the box, alittle forward of the center from the back to the front. This partitiondoes not extend to the bottom of the box; neither does it extend to thetop, as is clearly indicated in Figure 1.

At the point where the partition 8 ends the partition piece is bent backto form a second partition V 9. -This partition separates thecompartment that contains the serum from the compartment that containsthe disinfectant solution. The partition 8 separates thecontainer-for-the disinfectant solution from the container for theVdisinfectant and the hypodermic needle.

Extending from the point where the parl tition9 branches'off from thepartition 8 is a forwardly projecting part of the 'partition 10. Thispart of the partition is circular and partakes of the shape of thecontainer in that part of the package. The partition extends aboutone-half of the depth` of the package; for about one-fourth the depth ofthe container there is no partition; then for about two-fourths there isa partition; then for the other one-fourth up to the top there is nopartition. By this means there is formed a structure'l having threecompartments, one in which there is the serum bottle; another in whichthere is the disinfectant solution and another in which there is thedisinfectant and the hypodermic syringe.

The hypodermic syringe-,is shown -in Figures 2 and 4 in position in thepackage. The needle part of the hypodermic syringe is placed and lits ina slit in a false bottom 11. The hole in which this -needle part l@tithehypodermic syringe ts is indicated -by Athe numeral 12. This falsebottom is attached near the lower edge ofthe partitions and ishorizontal with the bottom of the case, or

container.

The needle part of the hypodermic syringe is indicated by `the numeral13, while .theV

handle part is indicated by the numeral 14. The handle part protects .abulb member 15. This bulbis ofrubberandmayzbe compressed and expandedfor the purpose of ,receiving the Aserum'intowthe .needle Land.rejecting the serumtherefrom. The purpose -ofithezneedle is to open-the skin .oit the animal for :the reception oit' the serum 4in thetreatment. The serum bottle is indicated by fthe numeral 16, while the.container :for Athe disinfectant is indicated bythe numeral l17, andIthe .container for the disinfectant solution is .indicated by thenumeral 18.

It 'is veryv obvious that applicant has proided a simple and convenientdevice of this (ind. i

I .desire .to comprehend Awithin my invention such'modificationsasmaybeolearly embraced within my claims and the scopeotmy invention.

Having thus :fully ldescribed my iinven'tion, what I claim is new .anddesire fto `secure by Letters -Patentyis: Y

- l. :In a medical .case havin-g v-a bottom, .-a one-piece parti-tion'in said case cooperating with the walls of said case ytofform aplurality of compartments,one 1in one end and twovin the-other` end ofthecase, tand-asecond bottom inv one of said compartments integral f'with the partition to supportav hypodermic syringe.

2. In a medical case 7'having a abottom, .a container having a greaterdepth .at the =bacl than at the front, Va one 'piece partition in saidcontainer dividing it into compartments, each compartmentadapted Atohold a certain drug, and one compartment having a vsecondbottom-integral 'with the partition to adapt it to hold also ahypodermic syringe, and mea-ns to close the container.

In testimony whereof, I aiXmy-signature.
